There are reports on Facebook about a system-wide 45 minute Starlink outage yesterday. Apparently a small solar flare arrived and the Starlink satellites have to be turned off to implement their protection protocol. I couldn't find any reports of geosynchyncronous satellites being affected, they're designed to ride out low level solar flares without shutting down.
Here's a screen grab showing the outage. I included it because it will scroll off soon. From https://downdetector.com/status/starlink/
